Review # 1 was written on 2019-04-10 00:00:00 George Dean As Math textbooks go, this one's pretty good. It has a nice variety of problems for the student to work at the end of each subchapter, from easy ones to advanced ones, and the explanations are actually not bad. As a supplement to a course on Statistics, this is a very useful book. As with almost all Math texts, of course, it is almost completely useless on its own; it's a very rare individual indeed who can learn anything from reading a Math textbook without have someone lecturing and explaining the material; this is a problem innate to Math textbooks, given that a textbook cannot tailor the level of explanation to the student and give as much explanation as needed in the areas that the student finds difficult, without insulting the intelligence of the student in all other areas.This book in no way proves an exception to this rule, but it is no worse than most texts in this regard and is actually somewhat better than most.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-06-21 00:00:00 Steven Hanna The title is heady and the author is a giant of physics, so it must be a hard read, right? No! Planck wrote this title for informed readers who nevertheless have not pursued a Ph.D. in physics or any other discipline. Quantum theory, together with Relativity, are the foundations of modern physics. If you are interested in science, this is an essential read.
